Chapter 390 - Two-Faced Witch (1/2)

Chapter 390 Two-Faced WitchQin Haodong said, “Got it, Sister Liu. It’s fine as long as the purchased medicinal materials are used on the same day. Leave the rest to us. We’ll figure it out.”

Liu Yage nodded, then turned and left the office.

Qin Haodong said again, “I didn’t expect that there would be another incident with purchasing medicinal materials after only a few days. It seems that for the sake of the Chinese medicine industry, it’s best that we control the wholesale market of medicinal materials.”

Lin Momo said, “I have also thought about this. After Wang Dacheng caused trouble last time, I went to find someone to calculate the funding budget. If you want to fully acquire the Chinese medicine wholesale market, you will need at least three billion yuan. We are currently short on funds, so I put it aside for the time being. I didn’t expect it to be bought by someone else so soon.”

Qin Haodong said, “Three billion yuan? It is indeed not a small sum.”

Although they currently had two pharmaceutical companies in production, they had not yet reached the profit stage. They did not have a lot of capital.

Lin Momo frowned and said, “I wonder who bought the medicine market. Generally speaking, it is not appropriate to have large price fluctuations when the acquisition has just been completed. They suddenly increased the herb price a lot. Is it on impulse, or are they targeting us?”

“There’s no use guessing. We’ll know once we ask around.”

After Qin Haodong spoke, he pulled out his cell phone and called Wang Rubing. The Government had to know about such a big acquisition.

“Haodong, what’s up?”

Wang Rubing’s voice was steady. It seemed that her mood had returned to normal.

“How is it going on your side? How are things with Zhang Hao?”

“It’s okay. Much better than yesterday, but the mood is still low.”

“It will take a while for anyone who experiences this situation to digest everything. It will gradually get better.” After talking about Zhang Hao, Qin Haodong said, “Sister, I want to ask you about something. I heard that a foreign company bought the wholesale market for Chinese traditional medicine. Are you aware of their situation?”

Wang Rubing said, “I know this. The acquisition was completed yesterday. It was a major success for the merchant bureau in attracting investment. The specific details have been reported.”

“What are the specific details? Who is the investor?”

“It’s Yagyuu Corporation from Japan. They invested three billion yuan to acquire the Chinese herb market. I heard they are going to make it stronger and bigger.”

Wang Rubing said, “The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs put together an investigative group and sent it to Jiangnan City. The head of the group is Yagyuu Yukime. This was very important for the merchant bureau. I heard tonight that they organized a banquet south of the Yangtze River hotel. Given the scale and influence of Tangmen Company, you should be able to receive an invitation. Don’t you know about this?”

“I just returned, so I’m still unclear on the specific details,” Qin Haodong said thoughtfully, “Yagyuu Corporation, Yagyuu Yukime. I didn’t expect it to be them. I can’t believe they are here so soon.”

Wang Rubing said, “Why? Are you close with them?”

Qin Haodong said, “Of course I am. Yagyuu Hirai, who kidnapped you last time, is from Yagyuu Corporation. I’m guessing they came to Huaxia this time to do more than just talk about business. They must have another purpose.”

“It’s them. Haodong, are they here to take revenge?”

Wang Rubing immediately became nervous when she heard that these were the people who had kidnapped her.

“You don’t need to be nervous. Since they came to Huaxia through the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they probably won’t do anything that’s out of line. At least it seems that way on the surface.”

Qin Haodong said after thinking for a bit, “But it’s better to be careful. I will arrange a few people to protect you for a few days. Don’t worry, if they are here for me, then things will be taken care of very quickly.”

When she thought about Yagyuu Hirai’s people, who Qin Haodong had killed, Wang Rubing said, “Haodong, the Japanese came here through the authorities this time. You must be careful and discrete.”

“I know.”

Qin Haodong hung up. He turned around and called Saber over before asking him to assign two capable employees of Daddy Security Company to protect Wang Rubing.

After he finished organizing everything, Lin Momo asked, “Is everything clear now? What is going on?”

“The Japanese Yagyuu family acquired the Chinese herb wholesale market. Some time ago, I killed nearly 100 of the Yagyuu family’s experts in Huaxia. You could say that their hatred is as deep as the sea. This time, they suddenly came to Huaxia, so they must be here for me.”

Lin Momo said a little nervously, “Then what should we do?”

“I don’t think the Yagyuu family came to Huaxia just to acquire a Chinese herb wholesale market. They must have another purpose. Let’s not panic. We’ll wait and see,” Qin Haodong said, “I heard the merchant bureau held a banquet for the Japanese delegation. Did we receive an invitation?”

Lin Momo said, “You just reminded me. I almost forgot that we did receive an invitation yesterday afternoon. I wasn’t planning on going, so I didn’t pay too much attention to it.”

After going through that situation with the Wang family’s Chamber of Commerce from the south of the Yangtze River last time, she was a bit conflicted with things like banquets. Therefore, after she had received the invitation, she had immediately thrown it aside.

While talking, she took out an exquisitely-crafted invitation from her desk and gave it to Qin Haodong.

Qin Haodong took it to have a look. On the back, it was signed by Jiangnan City’s Merchant Bureau and Yagyuu Corporation. The banquet had been organized by both parties.

He put down the invitation and told Lin Momo, “Go get ready. We will go together tonight.”

“We are really going?”

“Of course. Otherwise, how could we discover the ace up the Yagyuu family’s sleeve? We need to resolve everything regarding the Chinese herb wholesale market as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will face pressure to increase costs every day.”

Lin Momo nodded. That was true. They needed to resolve this issue right now.
